Title: Improvements in the Method of Preserving Live Fish during a Long Period of Transport or in Store.
Inventor: KLEINSCHMIDT FRIEDRICH
Filed: 1903-09-23
Granted: 1904-06-30
Abstract: 20,463. Kleinschmidt, F. Sept. 23. Wagons; refrigerator cars.-Relates to a method for preserving live fish and like animals during a long period of transport or in store. The water, which is taken from the place where the animals have been caught, is continually regenerated in portions by an injection of ozone, while solid admixtures, such as the excrements of the fish, are removed by surface filters before the water is returned to the tank. To assist in the regenerating effect of the ozone, and to cool the water, liquid air or liquid oxygen may also be used, and, to reduce the vivacity of the animals, the temperature is kept as low as possible, and light is excluded. Fig. 1 shows a railway wagon for putting the invention into practice. It is divided into two compartments, one containing the tanks T, an air drier E, the ozonizer O, and the water spraying and mixing chamber M, and the other containing cooling and auxiliary machinery. The purified water is delivered on to filters surmounting the tanks.

[Published under Patents Act, 1901.] Teeth, artificial. -Figs. 2 and 7 show means adopted for fixing artificial crowns, also applicable to bridge work. Through the crown 2, preferably of porcelain, is formed an opening, uniform as in Fig. 2, or divergent from the base as in Fig. 7 Shaped to the inner surface of an incisor tooth or to the grinding-surface of a molar is a metal plate or backing 6. Soldered to this backing is a socket 7 or 10 of such shape as to fit the opening in the crown 2, which in the case of Fig. 2 has a spring 11 formed on it. Figs. 3 and 4 show the anchor posts to be used in each case ; the lower ends of these are fixed into the natural root, while the upper ends are designed to go into the sockets 7, 10 respectively. To apply a crown, the anchor post having been fixed in position, the socket is placed within the hole in the crown and the metal plate pushed into place. The socket is then pushed over the anchor post, when the prongs 4 in the one case and the notch 9 and spring 11 will securely hold the crown in position. Before applying the crown to the anchor post, cement is placed within the socket 7 to fill the space between the prongs and the post and between the prongs and the plate 6 should there be any.

Title: Improvements in and connected with the Production of Fibre from Peat.
Inventor: SZEK JOSEPH THEODOR
Filed: 1906-03-27
Granted: 1907-03-27
Abstract: 7299. Szek, J. T. March 27. Peat, preparing.-Peat is obtained in a loose fibrous state by subjecting it to a temperature low enough to freeze its contained water, which in expanding splits up and separates the fibres. The peat may be soaked in solutions of nitrates, chlorides, sulphates, or other salts to lower tbe freezing temperature, and salts and sugars may also be used to increase the flexibility and tenacity of the fibre. Any preliminary breaking up or treatment with acids may be adopted, and any ordinary system of obtaining low temperatures used. Cold rooms may be filled with the peat, charging and discharging being effected mechanically by conveyers through openings at the top and bottom. When ice-making or like plant is used, the peat may be contained in or passed through cylinders or other vessels around which cold brine, calcium-chloride solution, or the like is caused to circulate.

Abstract: 13,254. Hildburgh, W. L. June 8: No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Signals, electric and magnetic.-Relates to an advertising-apparatus in which the inscription is made to appear and disappear by means of a powder which is caused to adhere to a screen and to be released therefrom. Magnetic attraction is preferably used, but electrostatic or any other controllable attraction may also be employed. The powder, such as iron filings, is fed from a hopper k past a distributor j in front of the screen h to a receptacle l, from which it may be returned to the hopper k automatically or by hand in the latter case, an audible or other signal may be operated when the hopper is nearly empty. The weight of this powder may operate the mechanism in a greater or less degree, and the powder may be coloured by coating with copper, tin, or other metal or by immersion in a suitable dye. The screen may be thickened at its top and bottom to prevent leakage of magnetic lines. The magnets behind the screen may be permanent magnets or electro-magnets, or perforated magnetic screens may be arranged in front of magnets so that the powder adheres to the screen h only at the points opposite the perforations in the magnetic screen. The arrangement shown consists of letter blocks e consisting of one or more soft-iron strips bent to the shape of letters and held on edge in plaster, being first attached to a paper backing. The blocks are grooved at the top and are movable in guides f, g by any suitable mechanism. They are magnetized periodically by one or more electromagnets a held between plates c, d.

Title: New or Improved Means for Preventing the Loose Ends of Weft from Spent Shuttles or Weft Carriers in Automatic Looms from being Drawn into the Cloth,
Filed: 1906-08-08
Granted: 1907-04-25
Abstract: 17,803. British Northrop Loom Co., and Hollins, D. M. Aug. 8. Loom weft-replenishing mechanism.-Means are provided for preventing the loose ends of weft from the ejected cops or shuttles from being drawn into the fabric. A wire d is secured to the lay e and is bent to extend parallel to the shuttle box across the shoot f for the ejected cop or shuttle, the free end d<1> of the wire being bent upwards. A bent wire g with a hooked end g<1> is secured to the branch c<1> or the transferrer finger, or to a part connected therewith. When the change of cop is effected, the loose end of weft is carried by the ejected cop or shuttle through the loop of the wire d, and the wire g is raised and passes over the wire d, so that its hooked end engages the weft. When the wire g returns to its normal position, it draws the loose end of weft away from the fabric, this action being assisted by the backward movement of the lay. The weft is afterwards severed in the usual way.

Title: Improvements in Typewriting Machines
Inventor: UNDERWOOD JOHN THOMAS
Filed: 1906-08-09
Granted: 1907-03-07
Abstract: 17,856. Underwood, J. T. Aug. 9. Typewriters.-Relates to the type-bar arrangement in machines in which all the type-bars are mounted, usually in a segment, upon one side of the printing point. Figs. 1, 3, and 4 show the application to an Underwood front-strike machine, in which the type-bars. lie normally at about an angle of ninety degrees to their printing positions and are arranged on a fulcrum rod 4 in a slot 15 in the segment 6, and the types 2 are offset from the bars at progressively increasing angles from the middle to the ends of the system. (1) The planes in which the type-bars swing not only intersect but are also skewed or canted progressively from the middle to the ends of the system, as shown in Fig. 3, by skewing the guide-slots 5 as shown in Fig. 4. By this means, a slight extra divergence of the types is produced, sufficient to prevent clashing in rapid operation, without increasing the angularity of the types to their bars. (2) Auxiliary type-bars 7, 8, 9 of progressively decreasing length are mounted on auxiliary cranked pivot members, comprising pivots 10, 11, 12, intervening arms 18, and a plate 16 for attachment to the segment 6 by a screw 17. Each pivot member is also formed with the pivot 13 for the extreme main type-bar 3. Owing partly to the adoption of the progressively shorter auxiliary type-bars and partly to the skewing of the typebars, a larger system as required for certain languages and other purposes can be compressed within a relatively short angular length of segment.
